The full moon is in the sky.

Located in the northern suburbs of Dongxu City, Bailu Academy looks extremely deserted under this moonlight.

There is a lantern hanging from the not very tall torii.

Alone.

Even the four big characters of Bailu Academy on the archway were not fully illuminated.

The huge academy was even darker, except for a small courtyard in the corner, where a lantern was still lit at the moment.

The lantern hung from an old locust tree.

There was a low stone table under the tree, and two old men sat in front of it, but on the table was a jar of wine and three dishes.

Hua Manting was dressed in a cyan linen dress and sat opposite the old master Qiuchenqiu.

He picked up the wine jar and slapped open the mud seal, poured two bowls of wine and handed one bowl over.

"I've thought about it for 40 years, I've watched it for 40 years, have you figured it out? Have you seen it? ”

Qiuchen took the wine bowl and took a big sip, and replied: "Good wine!" ”

"It's not Liquan, what's the name of this wine?"

Hua Manting grinned: "Draw Ping Chun!" ”

Qiuchen was slightly stunned, "Take the name of Guangling City's painting screen lake?" ”

"Exactly!"

"So, this wine is also brewed by Li Chen'an?"

Hua Manting raised his eyebrows and crossed his legs to make himself sit more comfortably: "It seems that you really haven't heard anything outside the window all these years." ”

Qiuchen took another sip, "What you said is not all right, at least the old man still remembers Huaping Lake and knows Li Chen'an." ”

Hua Manting raised his eyes: "You also know all his poems?" ”

"I know, although there is not a single student in this White Deer Academy, the old man still has a scholar. Shixian's poems are so famous, my scholar admires him so much that he writes and recites every day, and the old man naturally knows it. ”

Hua Manting sighed for three breaths, "Then what do you think of his poetry and articles?" ”

Qiuchen stroked his long beard and bowed slightly: "Nature is excellent, and it can indeed be the name of a poet, especially the article "Charcoal Seller". ”

Hua Manting picked up the wine bowl and took a sip of it.

"He also has an identity, the regent of Ning Kingdom, how much do you know about his ability to govern the country?"

Qiuchen put down the wine bowl and shook his head:

"I don't know at all, and I don't want to know, after all, he has passed away, and knowing it will only add to the trouble."

After saying this, Qiuchen said again:

"You came from Ningguo just to persuade me to leave this White Deer Academy?"

Hua Manting nodded: "I'm afraid that no one will know that you died in this place." ”

Qiu Chen grinned and said indifferently: "Where not to bury bones?" I think it's good to die here. ”

Hua Manting is noncommittal:

"There are not many people I admire in my life, you Qiuchen is one."

He stood up slowly and looked up at the moon, "More than forty years ago, you came to Ningguo from Yueguo, and I remember that we met for the first time on the shore of Huaping Lake in Guangling City. ”

"You stayed in Ningguo for a year, I accompanied you for a year, and then ...... You've come to the country of Wu. ”

"You stayed in the country of Wu again."

"I still remember that I came to Wu to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival three times, and three times I ranked second!"

Hua Manting turned around and looked at Qiu Chen, "You won the first place three times!" ”

"The eldest princess Wu Wen is desperate for your love, and you are also deeply in love with Wu Wen...... This should have been a good story in the world, but the cardinal found out the identity of your Privy Council of the Yue Kingdom! ”

"Of course Emperor Wu can't let the eldest princess marry a spy leader of the Yue Kingdom, he didn't kill you, this should be the eldest princess's favor for you."

Qiuchen raised his eyes to look at Hua Manting, and the corners of his mouth curled: "It seems that you still have a heart for me." ”

"Since you know that I am a member of the Privy Council of the Yue Kingdom, you still dare to invite me to Ning Kingdom?"

Hua Manting shook his head: "I didn't invite you to Ningguo. ”

"So what the hell are you thinking?"

Hua Manting returned to the table, sat down, leaned over, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said." ”

"I did have some things to do when I came to Wu Kingdom, and I didn't stop by to see you, coming to see you was one of my original plans."

Qiuchen turned his head away and laughed at himself: "I'm a lonely old man, what's there to see?" ”

"Don't say it, you old man still looks a little smelly."

"Get down to business," Hua Manting lowered his voice, and his expression became serious.

Qiuchen looked at Hua Manting again, "What else is going on?" ”

"Listen to me first."

"In the spring of twenty years ago, you went to the Sword Washing Building!"

When Qiu Chen heard this, his heart shook violently, and his old eyes stared at Hua Manting, "What else do you know?" ”

Hua Manting grinned: "Don't be nervous, with our friendship for so many years, of course I won't tell you about it." ”

"In the spring of that year, Wu Xichen did not return to the Sword Washing Building for a long time, and his younger brother Wu Ximiao officially took over as the owner of the Sword Washing Building, and Wu Wen, the master of Tianyin Pavilion, also went to the Sword Washing Building!"

Qiu Chen's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his hand was quietly placed under the table.

Under the table, there is a sword hidden!

Hua Manting didn't seem to know it, and he whispered again:

"In the spring of that year, there were also Lu Chuqi, the mountain master of Ningguo Mushan Knife, and Dongfang Hong, the head of Songshan Sword Academy, who went to wash the sword building. Of course, they went to congratulate Wu Ximiao, but no one expected you to go secretly. ”

"It's okay if you go."

"Because you didn't go to the Sword Mountain where the Sword Washing Tower is located, but a deep valley under the Sword Mountain, no one actually knows that you have been there, except for the eldest princess Wu Wen!"

"You stayed in that valley for a few days, and then you went back, and the eldest princess returned to heaven to find out that she was pregnant!"

Qiu Chen's gaze became more and more sharp, and Hua Manting's face was still light and light.

"There's nothing unsaved!"

"No one should have known about this in the first place, but Wu Wen went back to Tianshan and began to retreat, and she gave birth to a baby boy, and when the baby boy was only ten months old, Wu Wen took the child down to heaven ......."

"She's too anxious to share this joy with you."

"It should be here, your family has been reunited for a few days, but Emperor Wu knows about it."

"You were sent to prison, Wu Wen took the child to the Sword Washing Building, and was ambushed before he reached the Sword Washing Building, Wu Wen was seriously injured, your child...... Of course, he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Wu! ”

"If it weren't for Wu Wen's death, you wouldn't be alive now!"

Qiuchen took a deep breath, "I don't want to hear you say this!" ”

"No, what I want to tell you is that you and Wu Wen's child, he is not dead!"

Qiu Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and his old eyes were full of disbelief!

Because of that ambush, it was the Grand Grandmaster Mo Wangchen who personally took the master of the cardinal room to go!

Even Wu Wen was seriously injured, and the child had absolutely no chance of surviving.

But Hua Manting actually said that the child was not dead......

Qiu Chen's body was trembling, "He, he's still alive?" ”

"Well, alive and kicking."

"Where is he—he?"

"In Ningguo, I studied under Lu Chuqi."

“…… What's his name now? ”

"His name is Amu!"

"Who saved him?"

Hua Manting took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, raised his eyes, and said two words:

"Xi Wei!"
